About the Item

A charming pair of Swedish Gustavian-style painted chests of drawers, dating to the early 20th century, inspired by the neoclassical tradition that defined late 18th-century Scandinavian design. Each chest features three drawers, framed with diamond-shaped paneling and fitted with decorative brass ring pulls and escutcheons. The upper frieze is adorned with a carved dentil molding, adding architectural presence and balance to the otherwise restrained design. The soft, timeworn painted finish in light gray-white tones accentuates the crisp geometric carvings while creating a luminous, airy effect—hallmarks of the Gustavian aesthetic. Raised on tapered legs with subtle fluting, these chests exude elegance and proportion. Their scale and versatility allow them to function equally well as bedside tables, storage pieces in a living room, or refined anchors in a hallway or entry. Practical yet timeless, this pair embodies the understated sophistication and enduring craftsmanship that makes Swedish antiques so highly desirable.
